Guardrails Alliance is a U.S. super PAC that advocates stricter regulation of frontier AI. It positions itself against Leading the Future, the industry super PAC with more than $100 million in commitments backed by a $50 million pledge from OpenAI president Greg Brockman and his wife Anna (Source: wired.com).
Funding
Ahead of the group's first FEC filing on July 15, 2026, current and former OpenAI employees had donated more than $215,000 to the PAC; OpenAI research engineer Juan Felipe Cerón Uribe gave $200,000. The group aims to raise $15 million in the 2026 election cycle, and disclosed by July 16, 2026 that it had raised $5 million toward that goal (Source: wired.com; wired.com).
The employee funding runs counter to the political posture of OpenAI's leadership: Wired characterized the donations as OpenAI staffers funding a rival super PAC to take on their own company's president (Source: wired.com).
